Rishi Sunak was accused of having “no grip on immigration” yesterday as net migration to the UK hit a record high.
Labour’s blast came as official figures showed 606,000 more people came to the UK than left last year, despite Conservative pledges to slash numbers.
Net migration – the difference between the number of people moving to the UK and those leaving – has soared from 488,000 in 2021 and is up from 504,000 in the 12 months to last June.
